It seems a bit unfair to blame the language for the added complexity that is introduced when debugging a browser script. Pycharm (or any of the JetBrains IDEs with JS support) offer a very comparable debugging experience for server side Javascript.

Not being a professional, I tend to see a language through holistic glasses : the ease and versatility, the libraries, IDE support, debugging, etc.

I was mostly referring to front end JS, where I sometimes managé to debug in my IDE and sometimes not (and I then need to have DevTools open).
